alternatively you could use:
 >> require 'cgi'
=> true
 >> include CGI::Html3 # Html4 or whatever
=> Object
 >> element_init()
=> nil
 >> ol{'foo'}
=> "<OL>foo</OL>"


which is even more confusing maybe..

ut makes me think:
maybe the element_init should be called on the various HTML mixins 
#included and #extended methods ?
